Both much better teams than Spurs now, in the recent past and for the immediate future. No argument. But in terms of support, Spurs are a bit smaller than Arsenal (had bigger support until early 90's) but still well ahead of Chelsea. You have to remember that it was only a few years ago that...

Spot on? Well since you're being pedantic abouot it: there's not actually an area in north London called Arsenal (there's only a tube station), and while we may no longer be a big club, we're hardly a small club either, I don't see how that chant can be "spot on"! :D

?? Eh? What are you talking about?

You seem to be a bit obsessed about the atmosphere at WHL, Saint Lennard. You've done little else but bang on about it for the past few days. I'll repeat (hopefully it'll penetrate the fog that surrounds you this time): Spurs fans don't generally get vocal in games against lower division teams...

I don't know what Spurs web sites you were on but that is certainly not a representative view! As someone who goes home and away, I can tell you that WHL is one of the best grounds for atmosphere in the Premiership. I'm not saying that the atmosphere is always amazing but it's usually far louder...

Except that we have a fairly sensible loyalty scheme in operation. Away season ticket holders get first dibs. Then home season ticket holders. And the chances of getting a ticket for a game like this would depend on how many loyalty points you have accumulated (based on how long you've been a...

Well, as someone who goes to every home game and most away games, I can tell you that what I said is true - strictly or not! I'm not saying that the atmosphere at WHL is always great but it is better than it is at most other Premiership grounds.

And on the subject of stewarding, I can confirm that Spurs fans have also been thrown out for standing this season. It's a nonsense, of course, but not one of Spurs' making. It's the jobsworths at Haringey council health and safety. They have threatened to close down parts of the ground if...

Absolutely correct. The Spurs support on Saturday was the quietest it has been all season. Number of reasons. Partly, a large number of fans from the main singing area of the ground (to the right of the away support) were dispersed by the extra allocation of away tickets because it was a cup...

You have to factor in match day costs as well - police, stewards etc. BHAFC will only get 45% after deduction of expenses. But, with 3000 corporate tickets at up to £200 each, total match revenue should be more like £1.2 mill.

Erm.......well.....okay.....too close for bloody comfort actually. Well done, Brighton. Thought your lads were magnificent today. Ran their socks off and played some decent stuff too. In particular, I thought your defence was superb. Yes, we were poor today and Defoe / Keane is not a good...

Probably quicker, yes. Haven't taken one on match day for a long time, though, so I can't say for sure. No idea about Network train card either. I only know that a tube Travelcard is valid for buses as well.

The Antwerp normally has a few away fans. But it's a tiny pub and can get very packed. I also heard that there was a bit of a scuffle there recently, involving some away fans, and that they're now not allowing them entry. The only pub near the ground that I know of that's definitely an away...

Exactly what I was thinking! Uncle Buck obviously hasn't seen much of JD.

Nah. Wouldn't bother me. And most Spurs fans don 't know where Falmer is and what it means to Brighton fans. So unlikely we'll sing anything about it! Besides, I'd imagine that most of us are fully behind your campaign. It's ridiculous that you've had to live this nomadic existence for the...

LOL! Brilliant! From a Spurs fan's perspective (though I don't suppose that most will agree with me), I can't really blame the ref or the lino. I'm sure they didn't mean to make such a mistake and that they genuinely weren't sure whether the ball had crossed the line or not. It's gutting for...

The pub next to WHL station (The Railway, I think) closed a couple of years ago. I think you're referring to the Irish Centre, opposite the station and just off Pretoria Road. Not a pub but a social club.

Meant to reply to the above as well. Answer is that 90% of people who live within walking distance of WHL can't afford to watch Spurs. With normal season ticket prices ranging between £550 and £1250, match day prices from £25 - £60 and Tottenham being one of the most deprived inner city areas...

WHL station is fine before the game. It can be a bit crowded at Seven Sisters but still far better than the walk. Those who say it's 20 minutes are walking very quickly. More like 25-30 mins for most normal people! The queue to get back on to the platform after the game is quite long but the...

Spurs fan here. Just a quick point on these £37 tickets for kids. Spurs have long operated a policy whereby half price tickets for kids and OAPs are only available in certain areas - namely the Paxton Road (or North) stand (opposite the away end) and the section of the Park Lane (or South)...
